Jungian Sandplay
Jungian sandplay therapy is a non-verbal therapeutic process developed by Dora Kalff, and grounded in the psychology of C.G. Jung. This two-year training prepares licensed clinicians to offer sandplay therapy in their clinical practice. The training program moves sequentially through six units of study that deepen both theoretical understanding and practical application.
All seminars are taught exclusively by Jungian analysts (IAAP) who are also certified sandplay therapist-teachers (ISST).
Curriculum
The program follows the movement of libido as it appears in sandplay scenes to express the individuation process.
Topics across the six units of study include the history and origins of sandplay therapy, practical guidelines for establishing and maintaining a sandplay collection, the application of Jungian theory to the sandplay process, and understanding the role of symbols, archetypal material, myths and fairy tales in sandplay case material. Case material of both children and adults is included in each of the seminars. Each of the six units consists of three six-hour seminars — 108 hours of coursework in total. Sessions meet once a month on Saturdays via Zoom, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pacific.
Units 2 through 6 are open to licensed clinicians and students in the process of training for licensure in mental health professions.
Certification
Completion of the program meets the coursework requirement for certification through Sandplay Therapists of America (STA) and the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST). There are additional requirements for full certification. Participants need to consult the relevant organization for full details.
